For Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders, winning the 2020 New Hampshire Democratic presidential primary next month is not everything, but losing it might be.
Over the years, presidential candidates from states bordering New Hampshire — Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts — have enjoyed success in the New Hampshire primary.
The ranking Republican on a legislative committee that studies transportation bills in Massachusetts says he doesn't support a carbon-emissions fee proposed by the state's Republican governor, Charlie Baker.
The Transportation Climate Initiative includes 12 states between Virginia and Maine considering whether to assess a fee to fuel providers as a means of raising revenue to improve mass transit and take other steps to try to reduce carbon emissions. Supporters of the program say reducing carbon emissions from gasoline-powered vehicles would reduce global warming, which they say is harmful.
